Juries 

Bachelor of Music in Music Studies students must perform a 10-minute jury each spring semester enrolled in applied lessons (210 b/d and 260b). The jury is waived for any students that elect to perform a Recognition in Music Performance Recital while enrolled in 260b. All juries must include at least one selection with a collaborative pianist.  

Some instructors may require students to announce their selections and/or talk about the music as part of the jury. 

Postponements are allowed for extenuating circumstances (injury, death in the family, etc.).  No-shows are considered a failure. If a jury is postponed, the student must perform the jury within the first twelve class days of the following semester and pass in order to advance to the next level.  

Jury comments from faculty will be shared with students by the undergraduate advisor. The primary studio teacher assigns a jury grade which is combined with an applied lesson grade to determine the overall semester grade. Each studio professor determines the weight of the jury grade for their own students and clearly indicates this in their respective syllabi. For undergraduate juries, any student held at level by the jury committee may not receive a letter grade greater than a C from their studio instructor.
